A Conversation for France on h2g2 - The French Connection

Just Bob aka Robert Thompson, plugging my film blog cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk

As I mentioned on the 'Ask h2g2' thread, my mother is French. We go there on holiday pretty much every summer, specifically to the town of Sarzeu on the south coast of Brittany. This is where my grandparents Jacques and Marthe are retired, after having lived in the UK during his time as director of Michelin UK. This meant that both my mother and her two brothers went to university here, and two of them still live here, the other being in Belgium.
But enough about me. How French are you?

Digging up this old thread...
I was born in the USA smiley - winkeye and moved here in France at the age of 6 or so. My mother is French, my dad was an American (they divorced) and my step-father is American.
...so I'd say 78.42 % french, give or take 0.362 %. Here I am looked upon as 'the american guy', and when I go back to the States I'm a 'frenchie' smiley - smiley
...and I like France *way* more than the usa. Like, totally smiley - smiley
